Swara Bhaskar remarks: Plea before A-G for contempt proceedings

The Hindu  

A petition has been filed before the Attorney-General of India seeking his consent to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against actor Swara Bhaskar for ‘scandalising’ the Supreme Court. Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute: The petition filed by Karnataka resident Usha Shetty refers to an address by Ms. Bhaskar in a public meeting organised by the Mumbai Collective following the apex court’s judgment in the Ramjanmabhoomi title dispute case in November last year in which the court had ordered the handing over of the disputed land to the Hindus to build a temple. The petition said Ms. Bhaskar’s statements were not only a cheap publicity stunt to get a brief applause but also an attempt to turn the masses to resist and revolt against the Supreme Court. Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi dispute timeline In its August 14 verdict convicting Mr. Bhushan for contempt, the apex court held the Attorney-General’s approval was not necessary if it took suo motu contempt action using its inherent powers as a court of record under Article 129.
